PREPARATION OF THIN TARGETS FROM POWDERS
Two methods used in the preparation of thin targets from materials available only in powder form were compared with a recently developed method which retains the advantages of both without the disadvantages of either. The newer method consists of depositing a suspension of the powder in polystyrene on a roughened thin Mylar foil. The resulting foil is extremely rugged, is very uniform, can be easily made of any desired thickness above 1 mg/cm/sup 2/, and requires only about 15 min to prepare. Foils of thicknesses 1 to 10 mg/cm/sup 2/ were bombarded by 15-Mev deuteron beams of about 0.5 mu a/cm/sup 2/. (B.O.G.)
